The principle of facing south in Feng Shui. As early as in primitive society, Chinese ancestors built village houses in the direction of facing south. Most of the houses discovered by archaeology have their doors facing south. The principle of sitting north and facing south is a correct understanding of natural phenomena, complying with the way of heaven, getting the aura of mountains and rivers, receiving the brilliance of the sun and moon, nourishing the body, cultivating sentiments, and the spirit of the earth can produce outstanding people.
The principle of facing south in Feng Shui
There is a difference between yin wind and yang wind. He Guangting in the late Qing Dynasty said in "Guide to Earth Science": "Pingyang is not afraid of wind, but there is a difference between yin and yang. The warm winds that are received from the east to the south are called yang winds, so there is no problem. The ones that are received from the west to the north are not harmful. Cool wind, cold wind, so-called cold wind, must be blocked by a nearby case, otherwise the wind will chill the bones and the family will be ruined. "This is to avoid the northwest wind.
Sit north and face south, not only for lighting, but also for shelter from the wind. China's topography determines that its climate is monsoon type. There are Siberian cold currents in winter and cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean in summer. The wind direction changes throughout the year. There are records of wind measurement in oracle bone inscriptions. "Historical Records 61 Lushu" says: "Buzhou wind lives in the northwest, which is October. Guangmo wind lives in the north, which is November. Tiao wind lives in the northeast, which is the first month. Ming Shu wind lives in the east, which is February."
The methods of indicating directions in Feng Shui include: First, the five elements of wood are used as east, fire is used as south, metal is used as west, water is used as north, and earth is used as middle. Secondly, Li is the south, Kan is the north, Zhen is the east, and Dui is the west in Bagua. Third, take the heavenly stems A and B as the east, Bing and D as the south, Geng and Xin as the west, and Ren and Gui as the north. The child of the earthly branch is the north, and the noon is the south. Fourth, the east is the blue dragon, the west is the white tiger, the south is the red bird, and the north is the basalt. Or it is called: "Green Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, Suzaku in the front, Xuanwu in the back." "Wuxing Zhi 61 Danqi" records the layout of Wuxing County in the Song Dynasty: the hall is in the middle, Qiaomen is in front of it, "Bian Cang" is behind it, and " "Qingfeng", "Huijing" and "Sales Office" are winding on the left, with a green dragon elephant. The first floor of "Mingyue" stands alone in the southwest, in the shape of a tiger crouching, which is consistent with the Yin and Yang family theory.
